Wring me out and hang me up to dry

Three hours on the mat with Ana Forrest today, a workshop called Revitalize your Health and Well-Being. I faded towards the end; ate dinner a bit too close to practice time and my stomach started complaining at the end. But it was still a pretty awesome practice. Those of you who practice with me know I'm not the type to back down; I take the chaturangas, I rest in down dog. But tonight - plenty of child's poses, sitting on my heels. Even a brief stroll out to the water cooler for a H20 refill.

One of my teachers who practiced with Ana last weekend recommended the workshops (I had already signed up) with the news that Ana is in a different place. Indeed she is - sweet and gentle than the last time, even as she took us deep and strong. Perhaps I am just in a place to receive. Regardless, it was delicious. I have another round tomorrow evening. Then off to San Diego.......
